Mechanical Global Supply Manager

The posting, as Ironsite Ai wrote it

About Ironsite

Ironsite is building the intelligence layer for the physical world. We design our own wearable hardware, deploy it alongside craft workers, and transform a shift's footage into a next-morning report. Our internal team and purpose-built models label the data overnight and deliver actionable insights to superintendents by 5 AM.

We are accelerating the speed, efficiency, and predictability of construction, especially for complex, mission-critical infrastructure projects, including data centers, LNG facilities, sports stadiums, hospitals, and other large-scale developments, by training AI models on egocentric construction footage and labor productivity data. We are built with a pro-worker philosophy at our core: we believe technology should empower the workforce, not replace it. We're working to give craft workers and project leaders better visibility into what's happening on-site, while creating a system where the reality of construction and the chaos of each day are finally available to the people running the project.

Ironsite is deployed across several of the largest active construction projects in the country. To date, we've captured more than 100,000 hours of construction footage across seven states, now process thousands of hours of site activity every day, and maintain a worker opt-out rate below two percent. This is enabled by a workforce-first architecture that anonymizes devices, captures no audio, and never releases raw video.

Ironsite is backed by leading investors (8VC, South Park Commons, Saga Ventures) and prominent operators across technology and construction, including Eric Schmidt, Jeff Dean, Jeff Rothschild, Mark Leslie, Scott Wu, Eric Glyman, Karim Atiyeh, Russell Kaplan, and others, alongside over a dozen construction industry operators who have joined us as partners in building this.

Longer term, we believe Ironsite is the foundation for what construction becomes in the next decade. The systems we're building will be the operating system for how the physical world gets built. We see a future where craft workers are more valued, more visible, and better paid for the skill they bring, and where the industry finally has the intelligence layer that makes autonomous construction possible. Both start with the same foundation.

The Role

We're hiring our first Mechanical Global Supply Manager to lead the sourcing and supply chain strategy for Ironsite's hardware.

You'll own the mechanical commodity strategy for our first-generation product, and you'll do it in a fast-moving environment where the market is already asking for what we're building. This is not sourcing for a product looking for a market. This is sourcing for a product that has customers waiting, deployments already running, and a hardware roadmap that scales into the millions of units over the next few years.

This role reports into the Supply Chain function and works closely with Hardware Engineering, Operations, and Finance. You'll be one of the
[…]
supplier risks we need to address.

• First 6 months. You've qualified new suppliers where we needed depth or geographic diversification, qualified tools to support an EVT build, set cost targets, and put in place the supplier management cadence that will scale with the company.
• First 12 months. You're the internal authority on how Ironsite sources mechanical components. Our supply base is deeper, more resilient, and more cost-effective because of you. You’re identifying and going after cost-down opportunities. When we scale to hundreds of thousands of units, we're set up to do it because of the work you put in.

Location, Compensation, & Perks

• San Francisco Bay Area (on-site)
• Base salary: $175k-$200k per year, commensurate with experience
• Significant early-stage equity
• Full benefits including health, dental, vision, and 401(k) with 6% match
• Daily catered lunch
• Office in San Francisco, next to Oracle Park and the Caltrain

Final compensation is determined by experience, location, and level.

Why This Role

Every category-defining hardware company has a supply chain leader who was the reason they could actually build at scale. Not because they had the best spreadsheet, but because they built the supplier relationships, negotiated the right deals, and prevented the disruptions that would have killed the company.

Ironsite is at that moment. We have the product, the customers, the funding, and the manufacturing partnerships. What we need now is the first supply chain leader who is going to build the mechanical supply base that lets us scale from thousands of devices to hundreds of thousands, without losing quality, without losing margin, and without losing time.

If you've spent your career building supply chains at hardware companies that scaled, and you're ready to do it again from the ground up in a company that's already earning the right to scale, we want to talk.

Compensation
The base pay range for this role is $175,000 – $200,000 per year.
